Options For Employers and Employee Benefits

  • Providing healthcare coverage for your employees has become more challenging each year and providing an affordable option may impact your profitability.

  • Working with a Direct Primary Care (DPC) provider may help lower your company’s healthcare costs.* We can help you provide your employees comprehensive primary care for a fraction of the additional cost of premium insurance.  This may be especially beneficial when you can only offer a high deductible option,  or can't offer any insurance coverage. DPC may provide your employees with a superior additional option and improve employee recruitment, satisfaction.

  • DPC provides high accessibility, high quality healthcare without hidden fees or copays, helping your employees stay well, get well and get back to work as quickly as possible. We can help you create a plan and coordinate care that fits your schedule and theirs. We can also offer urgent care for injuries or other work-related problems.

  • We can schedule a site-visit so that I can better understand your business, considering your specific needs, employee risks and we can discuss including periodic on-site care options. All this for a relatively low per-member fee that can be employer-sponsored, shared-cost or employee funded and paid through payroll deduction. 

  • *Reducing unscheduled emergency room or urgent care clinic visits or unneeded specialty referrals can save significant time and money, especially for self-funded plans and/ or save lost time from work. 

  • *Engage with us before discussing your healthcare offerings with your benefits advisor. Many are not familiar about how incorporating DPC into your healthcare offerings can save your company money and they may negate the benefits by offering only higher cost plans.
